Connection Editor

A common complaint among new users was the difficulty in setting up the connections.

Connection URLs are admittedly confusing, and editing .toml files isn’t always straight-forward either.

To ease this initial difficulty, we added a textual-based TUI tool to sqeleton, that allows users to edit configuration files and test the connections while editing them.

Install

This tool needs textual to run. You can install it using:

pip install 'sqeleton[tui]'

Make sure you also have drivers for whatever database connection you’re going to edit!

Run

Once everything is installed, you can run the editor with the following command:

sqeleton conn-editor <conf_path.toml>

Example:

sqeleton conn-editor ~/dbs.toml

The available actions and hotkeys will be listed in the status bar.

Note: using the connection editor will delete comments and reformat the file!

We recommend backing up the configuration file before editing it.
